well looks like the weather is warming up, the marmots are out in Rocky, as are many many scraggy elk, a couple of itinerant coyotes, some sapsuckers and lots of bluebirds. And the rangers are searching for a dead elk which someone presumably reported. (just look for the magpies!)

Plus a few more tourists.

Squeek! (or is that cheeeep)

Nice marmot Bill.

And whats happening with the silencer equipped elk death squads? Should be lots of magpie food after the rangers finish the elk population reduction work.

So far I think they are just sterilising the females or males or something. I'd vote for wolves.

Cute little critter, that's for sure. Nice shot. I'd maybe darken the bg a bit. The bright whites are a bit distracting.
